Not for the size of the recipe. Depending on the size of the eggs, you may save 1 or 2. We knew when to stop adding the eggs. The mix should be a little on the stiff side.

Edmonds cookbook recipe works well and is for a reasonable amount - 4 eggs.Just remember to cook the mixture for a minute after the flour is added and incorporated and you'll never fail.If you remove it from the heat as soon as the mix leaves the side of the pan, it may not be cooked quite enough.
